Juventus vs Sampdoria
Italy – Coppa Italia
Date: Tuesday, 18 January 2022
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Stadium.
Former champions Juventus did not have the best of starts to their season in 2021-22. However, they have improved a lot lately, and seem determined to make amends for the points they dropped earlier.
Moreover, for a team of their stature, failing to qualify for the CL could be catastrophic, and this seems to be driving the team go after great results.
This Tuesday, they are at home, and are pitted against one of the weaklings of Serie A. Sampdoria are placed 15th in the league table, and are going through a worrying stretch of performances.
They are conceding goals in huge numbers, and they have been a mess on the road for quite some time. Moreover, they also have an inferior h2h record against this rival over the years.
Taking into account these observations, expect a win for Juventus this Tuesday at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus recorded a 2-0 win at home the last match-day, and their only defeat in the past ten game weeks had come against Inter, in the Super Cup – that too in extra time.
Going on, they had won nine of their preceding twelve appearances at home, and their latest defeat at this stadium had come back in November.
On the other hand, Sampdoria are on a three-match losing run, and they had remained winless in 17 of their past 23 games. And importantly, they had a total of just six wins on the road in the past twelve-month period as well.
Taking into account these observations, as well as past h2h stats, expect a win for Juventus this Tuesday at their home.
